Winchester Township World War I Memorial

On the north side of River Road that runs east of Highway 31 (Bank Street) south of Winchester, Ontario, and just to the east of the Nation Valley Road Bridge a memorial to The Great War stands in front of an old white school house. What we now call World War I was then simply The Great War.
